00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.080
so today I'll be doing a quick unboxing of the unitech USB 3.0 to SATA adapter

00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:13.320
it is super speed USB which means it's up to 10 times the performance versus

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:16.560
USB 2 and that means up to 180 megabytes

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.680
per second it is

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:21.359
um H let's just flip it over and talk

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:25.080
about the specs a little bit these are really useful and the reason these are

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:29.359
useful is because if you ever need to get data off a drive or if you ever need

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:34.120
to use a hard drive without actually like hooking it up properly to your

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:38.200
system these things can be a lifesaver and I'm at a loss right now for what

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:43.120
they're actually called normally I would know but basically it's just a little

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:48.520
adapter piece that I'm going to wait till I'm done cutting

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:52.440
this okay so it's a little adapter piece that you can actually just plug directly

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:58.559
into the back of a drive any Drive including a 2 and 1 half in hard drive 3

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.680
and 1/2 in hard drive uh SSD drive

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.799
anything you want and then you it has a little chipset inside that adapts the

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:09.799
data signal to something that can be used by a USB port typically now this

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:18.040
one is cool okay because it is USB 3.0 so the

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:22.280
big Advantage is that you can actually access your your internal hard drive if

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.600
you need to uh if you're a technician say for example and you carry around a

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.600
drive with all of your uh with a bunch of programs and a bunch of applications

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:33.479
utilities all that kind of stuff you can just plug it right into this plug it

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:36.880
into the uh customer system you don't actually have to have an enclosure so if

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.840
you're testing hard drives this is a great way to do it and with USB 3.0 you

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:47.520
can actually use the entire speed of a hard drive and actually almost the

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.280
maximum of an SSD through a USB style

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:54.560
connection rather than having to plug it in internally so you can see it's got a

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:58.000
little power LED here it has its a super

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.399
speed USB certified logo here it is SATA

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:07.119
2 or rather hold on let's see if it's SATA or SATA 2 because that makes a big

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:08.959
difference let me see huh it doesn't say

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:12.800
you know what though I'll be doing a uh I'll be doing a quick test on this oh oh

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:20.599
there we go there we go yeah SATA gen 2i 3 gabit per second so it is SATA 2 ready

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.400
as well as supporting USB 2 USB 3 and oh

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:27.879
supports 2 terab over hard drive so they're using a very modern chipset to

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:33.680
uh to adapt the USB 3.0 data to the SATA 2 data and then it also comes with a

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:35.599
power adapter and yeah the power adapter

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.040
plugs in here and I'm actually going to find out I will do a quick test on this

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.440
thing just to show you how fast it goes compared to having the drive plugged in

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:47.840
internally and I also want to find out if you can actually power a 2 and 1/2 in

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:53.360
drive directly from the USB 3.0 Port because USB 3.0 actually provides more

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.400
power over the port than USB 2.0 did and

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.480
then you also have the uh the optional power adapter is included just in case

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.640
you do need more power so this has

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:05.879
gotten kind of rambly but I'm sure that you can imagine all of the different

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.440
applications that there would be for a device like this

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:18.000
and I mean basically I just wanted one so I'm unboxing it because it's useful

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.000
that's it
